Overview of the World Test Championship 2023
Heads up, cricket fans! The updated World Test Championship 2023 points table has some exciting news – India are within striking distance of one of the two places in the final, while Australia have lost their Position Control Total (PCT) after their loss to India in Delhi.
Here’s what you need to know about the WTC 2023 points table: it determines which international cricket teams advance to the final round. Points are awarded after each series based on results, with extra points allocated for series wins and defeats of higher-ranked teams.
In addition, every team has a PCT that is determined by their performance over the three most recent series rankings; this prevents teams from rising too fast in the table due to short bursts of good play. As it stands, India have a solid 500 points and Australia have dropped down to 480 – but anything can happen over the next year!
There are 6 Test playing nations currently vying for a spot in Wembley Stadium for the final round in June 2023 – only time will tell who will make it there!
India’s Points Table Update in WTC 2023
As India looks ahead to the upcoming World Test Championship 2023, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at their standings on the points table. The most recent match against Australia in Delhi saw India secure a massive win and overtake their opponents in the rankings.
This means that India is now virtually guaranteed a spot at the tournament’s final, although they still need to remain in contention during future matches against England and New Zealand.

Australia’s Points Table Update in WTC 2023
If you’re following all the latest updates of the WTC 2023 points table, you’ll know that Australia has dropped in the rankings after their loss against India in Delhi. This result has resulted in them dropping a significant number of points, placing them firmly behind India on the table.
So what can we conclude from this? Well, India are now only 7 or 8 points away from qualifying for WTC 2023, while Australia’s loss against them has cost them dearly and placed their chances of entering the finals under threat.
How Australia Lost Their PCT Spot to India
You’re well aware of the fact that India is now edging closer to a finals place at WTC 2023, thanks to their recent win in Delhi. But how did this affect Australia’s place in the points table?
It’s simple—Australia lost their No 1 Test spot to India due to this loss! India now has 265 points, which puts them only 25 points behind Australia. That means if India can win their next two PCT matches and Australia don’t pick up any more points, India will be the team with the highest number of points and secure their place in the Finals.
Predicted Final Teams for the WTC 2023
At this point of the tournament, the three teams that are for sure on track for the final spots at the WTC 2023 are India, Sri Lanka and Australia. Though it hasn’t been officially announced yet, India is almost certainly set to be one of the two countries competing in the Final.
